Nick Jonas Hub

Nick Jonas, in case you haven’t been paying attention for the past few months or so, has been carefully recrafting his image as a part of a larger game plan to solidify himself as a solid vocalist. He went and got buff, began baiting the gays, and continued to bait the gays--all while dropping the occasional single from his new eponymous album.

For those of us unconvinced by Jonas’s gospel rendition of ‘Jealous,’ the 22-year old singer is back with a stripped down cover of Kanye West and Paul McCartney’s ‘Only One.’ Whether or not this song will finally convince you to start taking Jonas seriously we can’t say, but we endeavour you to give the song a listen and share your thoughts here AFTER THE JUMP...

Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying, who form 2/5 of the a capella group Pentatonix and also collaborate together under the name 'Superfruit,' are back with a new mash-up. This time the boys mash-up Taylor Swift's "Blank Space," Nick Jonas' "Jealous," and Ariana Grande's "Break Free" to tell a tale of discovering love, infidelity and ultimately freedom. The mash-up also features Broadway vet Shoshanna Bean (whom you may recall from Wicked).

After months of teasing, strip teasing, and possibly even a little bit of queerbaiting, Nick Jonas finally gave his gay fans more than just lip/ab service for last night's season finale of DirecTV's MMA drama Kingdom. In the episode it's revealed Nick Jonas' character Nate Kulina is gay, with Nate getting kicked out of a gay bar and hooking up with another guy.

The reveal may have surprised viewers, but the actor has known about Nate’s sexuality since Day 1. “Byron [Balasco, Kingdom creator] told me before shooting began,” Jonas told BuzzFeed News exclusively during a recent phone interview. “Everyone at Kingdom was really transparent about the character and some of the things the character would go through. And in my prep work, I wanted to be aware so I could properly tell this story.”

“For me, it was important to maintain the stakes for Nate,” the 22-year-old actor and singer continued. “He lives in a world of fear — fear of disappointing his father, both in the cage and outside of the cage — and he carries that pressure with him in so many ways. I think it’s something a lot of people can relate to.”

For Balasco, having a gay character in the MMA world was particularly important. “I wanted to tell this story in an environment that would be, perhaps, extra challenging for a gay man,” the Kingdom creator told BuzzFeed News. “Really show somebody who is struggling with this part of his life and reconciling it with the combination of what it takes to be an elite level athlete and how that concentration makes you to block out and ignore real questions that you have about yourself and about the life you’re living.”

This week has been an especially busy one for Nick Jonas, with the Kingdom star appearing on both The Meredith Vieira Show and The Wendy Williams Show yesterday. And as expected, both interviews managed to keep Nick's new "sex symbol" status at the forefront of everyone's mind.

On Wendy's show, she revealed that the last time Nick stopped by he was just a little kid with a purity ring. She followed up by asking him if he regretted that chapter in his life and whether he was still a virgin (surprise: he's not).

On Meredith's show (complete with "horny" audience), the two talked about Joe Jonas' photoshopped image of Nick's face on Kim Kardashian's #breaktheinternet nude picture, as well as Nick's status as a "booty man."
